Chapter 6: Monsters

Grian

Grian carefully got out of bed, not wanting to wake up Scar. The hero couldn't know what he was up to if he was to save him. To fix this. Who truly are the villains? Villains are the ones with dark intentions. All he wanted was to free Scar from the true villain. Those intentions were pure.

He needed to leave carefully. Tiptoeing out, Grian opened the door and left silently into the night. He traveled to the villains' base on his parrot wings. When he got there, he got instructions for his first mission.

The Admin spoke to him. "Do you want to rob a bank?"

Excited but uncertain if to call him The Admin or X, Grian jumped up and down. "Yes!"

X called in Iskall and Mumbo. "You guys ready?"

They nodded their heads.

All the villains came to say good luck to him before he left. He waved uneasily.

False said the last "good luck!" before they left.

Cuteguy carried Glitch on avian wings while Redstone flew with the power of the red dust.

Grian landed outside the bank. He didn't even have to sneak in. Deciding that it was worth using his notch-forsaken powers, he simply walked up and asked if he could have all the bank's money.

The guards obliged.

Loading the money into their van with the help of the guards, they knew the heroes would come soon. This peaceful crime would not last.

Scar, Canary, Shroom, Draconic, and Pirate flew in. Canary looked...familiar. He couldn't put his finger on it. Grian knew he could finish this fight quicker than it could start. Still, he decided he wanted a battle.

Hotguy spoke. Grian didn't want to fight Scar.

"What have you done? Threatened their families? Hurt them? Killed someone in front of them? You're a monster."

Grian reeled. His closest friend had just called him a monster. Still, he held a strong face. He needed to win. He couldn't let Scar's words affect him.

He forced the guards to agree with him. Hopefully, that would stop Scar from attacking him. Hopefully he would realize his power.

His plan failed.

Grian plunged into battle.

Going for Pirate, the villain was attacked from behind by the person he loved.

Of course it was Scar.

Grian held back his blows, careful not to hurt his friend. He held his own. Eventually, he was pinned.

Grian did what he swore he never would. He used his powers on Scar. It was his life or this.

"Get off me."

He could see the shock and fear in Scar's eyes before he submitted to the voice Grian knew was in his head.

Scar got off Grian. He turned and left.

Grian knew he had to end this before the guilt got to him.

"All heroes, leave now."

He watched as the rest of the heroes followed Scar.

After they left, Grian had a mental breakdown.

"I'm the monster they always said I was. That I always knew I was."

Grian started to panic.

I'm what my parents always said I was. What my neighbors would have if what makes me a monster didn't stop them. Maybe I should leave before I hurt anyone else.

They tried to comfort him, but he flew off before they could stop him. He considered folding in his wings and nose diving into the ground. It would end the pain. He landed back at base.

."Great job, G!" Impulse called out to him "The heroes didn't stand a chance!"

Grian pushed past everyone's congratulations on a successful first mission and lay down in his room.

Stress came in. If anyone could help, It was Stress.

"You okay, G?"

Her Empath powers made him feel calm. He opened up to her.

"Scar called me a monster today. The monster I always knew I was."

Stress seemed to think it over. Grian knew she could sense his panic.

"Hun, you're not a monster. The only ones who are monsters are the ones who did this to you.

"Thanks Stress."

Grian went back to his house and got back into his bed.

His sleep was full of dreams of chaos.
